THE CRICKET CLUB MEETING.

(Continued from Page 2.)

I have just two other matters. I should like to refer to before closing, both rather personal ones. Ono, is La thank your Committee for their very willing co-operation in matters appertaining to the Club. They are very keen on the Club's welfare, and good workers and help to make the President's task a very easy one. The other is to express to our Hon. Secretary, Mr. Greenhill, the best thanks of all of us for the valuable services he has rendered to the Club. I can assure you he novor spares himself in the interests of the Club, and it is mainly through his zealous guarding of our interests that we are in such a satisfactory position to-day. (Applause.)

Courts Must be Better.". Continuing, Mr. Bennatt said that if the standard of play of the meni- bors was to improve, which must be the object of all of them, then the courts must be better. Judging from the

..fact

that the stand court for tournaments was an excellent court, there

seemed to be no reason why

pro per attention and proper expenditure of money for the other courts should not be ordered.

In rising to second, Mr. C. B. John- son congratulated the members on their success in erickét and tennis and also for being in such a strong finan- einl position. After wishing the cricketers success in the forthcoming Interport, Mr. Johnson seconded the adoption of the report and statement

Member's Criticism.

Mr. T. G. Bennett referred to the tennis courts and pointed out that Judging by the entries in the tourna ments it was reasonable inference that the tennis-playing members ex- ceeded the cricket-playing members He pointed to the report and remark. ed that of the 207 members on the re- Kister there were only 28 names in the cricket list.

club why a cricket club and he hoped would However, remain primarily such. what he would ask the committee to consider was that tennis should be given the consideration that it was entitled to. It was now becoming rame of the multitudes. Wimbledon was as attractive as Lord's, and many public schools were including tennis as part of their carrieglum..

A

In order to get good tennis, said Mr. Bennett, which was what mem- hers wanted, it was necessary to have good courts. In his view the courts that were used for every day play were very poor. He knew that that was also the view of other members. He said this without any carping criticism. The surface of the courts wore very humpy and the worm casts profuse. The ball boys were badly clad, and often were suffering from

Chairman Replies:

In reply the chairman pointed out that only the names of those members who played more than ten cricket matches appeared in the report. There were a great many who did not play in matches but took great in- terest in the game and played at the nets.

Referring to the comment that ore time was given to cricket than to tennis, the chairman pointed out that daring the year tennis players atilised the ground on about 300 days, while the cricketers did not get anyi thing like that.

With regard to more consideration för tennis players, the chairman maid that he was quite sure the incoming committee would see to that but he could not agree that the tennis play- ers had not been considered. There was a tennis sub-committee, and if members had complaints they should tell the sub-committee.

In regard to the remark about the worm ensts, the chairman said that the ground would be useless if worm killer was used more than twice dur-

the one year, the chairman said that Continuing, the trees surrounding the ground, un

the fortunately, did not belong to club but were Government property. To make the ground into a garden might appeal to some members, but not to the cricketers, who wanted afl the light they could get. He did not. think that that was a good suggen» tion.

With regard to the stand court being so much better than the other courts that, of course, was perfectly obvious, said the chairman. The No. 1 court at Wimbledon was better than the great deal more other courts because a gre attention was given to all the

year rand, and more money was spent on it for the purpose for which it was usel. They could not give the other courts the same attention, all the year round, that was given to the stand court for a certain period.

Telephone Box Advocated. Continuing, the chairman that he would like to point out that if the members wanted much better courts the ground would have to be closed for at least two months dur- ing the year. The tennis players now got free balls and free ball boys.

In conclusion, the chairman sald that he was sure the remarks made by Mr. Bennett would be taken to heart by incoming committee.

by the

Mr. E. W. Hamilton suggested that

the Club build a telephone box for the convenience of members. He pointed out that it was impossible, to hear, on certain occasion.

Mr. Hamilton pointed out that the lumps in the ground were more dan- gerous to the cricketers who played with a hard ball than to the tennis players who used soft balls.

The Chairman agreed with the eug- gestion for telephone box.

The report and statement af ae- counts were put to the meeting, and unanimously carried.
